Soldier Chris Anderson has won the annual Cheese Rolling race.

The 29-year-old who serves with 1 Rifles has now won the much coveted Double Gloucester despite the fact that he doesn't actually like cheese. 

He's now taken home a total of 20 double Gloucester cheeses over the past 13 years.

Mr Anderson left other daredevils trailing in his wake as he sprinted, tripped and tumbled down Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire.
